2COLLABORATIVE NURSINGIntroductionIn the current scenario, the nursing workforce is made up of nursing leaders and staff from the four different generations. These comprises of four generations; traditionalists or veterans (1925–1945), Baby Boomers (1946–1964), Gen Xers (born 1963–1980), and the Millennials (born 1980–2000) having 5%, 40%, 40% and 15% proportion in the nursing workforce (Bell, 2013). Veterans are dedicated, loyal and hard working, Baby Boomers are productive, optimistic, workaholic, Generation Xers is independent, cynical and informal, and Millennials are impatient, confident and social. Due to generational differences, there are varyingperceptions and therefore, the following report addresses the challenges of working effectively within the multigenerational team environment and improving to support all generations. Main characteristics of each of the four generationsVeterans The oldest cohort of workers in the nursing workforce grew during World War II and Great Depression events when they were taught about responsibility, hard work and sacrifice. They are the ones who understand rules at workplace, loyal, patriotic and have strong workingethics. They look up to their leaders for guidance and direction and have traditional nuclear families. They are least comfortable with technology and mostly resistant to change as comparedto other generations. Veterans are comfortable with communication systems that build trust and inclusive. This generation rather than technology use prefer written or face-to-face communication (Sullivan Havens, Warshawsky & Vasey, 2013).
